What is a Combination (Combi) Boiler?

Accounting for over half of new boiler installations high efficiency condensing combi boilers are a great space saving solution to that of a regular or system boiler.

Combi's work by heating hot water on demand which removes the need for a hot water tank in the airing cupboard, this provides good efficiency in smaller properties as the water is only heated as and when required.

A conventional boiler will require a cold water tank in the loft, combi boilers take their feed direct from the mains supply which saves yet more space, no hot or cold water tank, as a result of this less pipework is required which generally results in lower installation costs. A combi boiler also handles the central heating system, hence the name, Combination boiler.
